"In her debut CD, Les Vonderlin casts spells with her honey-smooth vocals, uttering each lyric with grace, and melodies that flow like water in a country brook. You can hear [Paul] McCartney-like melodies in If She Waits, about a woman searching for love that also has [John] Lennon-like truths in the lyrics ... vocally she brings to mind Maria Muldaur and Joni Mitchell, but Vonderlin has taken her influences and created a unique vocal style."

"Just having a listen as I set up for a tracking session. I really, really like this. I know I heard something [in an earlier recording] that reminded me of Gillian Welch, and now I hear hints of Jonatha Brooke and Joni Mitchell. Very nice instrumentation and arragements in these tracks. I love this music!"

~ Mark Frigo, Owner/Mix & Recording Engineer, Frigo Recording Studio

"Vonderlin has selected a talented group of musical friends (Paul Wegmann on guitars, bass, keyboards and shakers, John McHenry on drums and percussion, Beth Trez on piano, Charles Marks on piano, and her nephew, Matthew Vonderlin, who co-wrote Vowels, on the “meow”) to accompany her stellar vocal work."

"I LOVE your CD! Stories is a really fine song Les, and the take on If She Waits is the best I've heard, congratulations! You must be very proud ... loved Hallelujah (& all the rest!). What a terrific team of musicians you had .... you've inspired me. Excellent work!"

~ Kate McCutchan, Music Director, Unity Church of Harrrisburg

"The broad, sweeping waltz of Stories is lovely, and Vowels is a sweet, bouncy lullaby - probably my favorite of the original tracks. The album ends with The Struggle which shows off her rich voice."
